The Jordi Alba deputy
The initial idea was to incorporate a footballer who had a true path to progress and who is not very expensive. The option that liked many months ago was Ferland Mendy, left hand side of the Olympique Lyon, but not convinced in the knockout second round before the club and its cost was also very high to regularly alternate for Alba . Alberto Moreno (Liverpool) and Alex Moreno (Rayo Vallecano) have also good reports but in the club of Barcelonista, are more for the work climb level with a footballer who could replace at dawn in a quotation of maximum magnitude as maybe for Anfield. Filipe Luis, 33 years and whose contract expires at Atletico, delighted to reach the Camp Nou and would fit in the identity of a usable player but the decision is not expected very fast and market options will be analyzed well.

Alaves to sell Maripan
Weeks ago, they already knew the interest from West Ham, as well as other clubs of the Premier, but sporting director Sergio Fernández always has forwarded to the clause of termination of the Chilean, 25 million euros. Everything done to indicate that Guillermo Maripán will not dress up the Pan guard next season at the Assembly stage and is very difficult to play two duels that remain before Valencia and Girona, since serious injury could truncate a possible sale of the English football player.

The end of Dybala at Juve
Sky Sport Italia claim Allegri’s demands are enough to ensure there really will be a split this summer. He is reportedly asking for an extended contract to June 2022 with substantial pay increase, adding two years to his current deal. It’d include more say on transfer strategy and numerous investments to reinforce both defense and midfield. He’d also push for the sale of Paulo Dybala, who doesn’t fit into any of his systems.

The Blaugrana's technical 'staff' gives their approval to the arrival of Atletico de Madrid's Frenchman
His price (120m) is considered fair for his quality and would contribute a plus of goals and competence to the team pic.twitter.com/3ANVHcBfPh
Griezmann, whose departure clause is 120 million euros until June 30, will accept a substantially lower salary than he currently touches earns at Atletico (nearly 23 million euros net), for a contract between four and five years. The price to pay to play with Lionel Messi, and above all, to forget the ‘Rabbit’ posed to Barca and its supporters last year.
-source: Le Parisien
After he rejected them last summer, Barcelona will go back in for Antoine Griezmann during the upcoming transfer window. The Frenchman announced his decision to stay at Atletico Madrid during a TV programme at the end of last season. From that point on, Barcelona ended their interest in Griezmann, but the humiliating Champions League elimination to Liverpool has prompted the club’s board to change their minds. They’ve grown impatient with Philippe Coutinho’s disappointing performances and Ousmane Dembele’s inability to stay fit and now want a proven goal threat.

[@agestioncarlos] | Barcelona wants to announce the signing of De Ligt as soon as possible. The agreement is total between the clubs & player. Only the signature is missing. Pending the judgement of the Raiola case, that could delay it. But only delay, not prevent. pic.twitter.com/A6Wwcd3Vir
— BarçaTimes (@BarcaTimes) May 9, 2019
Matthijs De Ligt’s probable move to Barcelona has been put on standby due to agent Mino Raiola’s concerns about the commission he would receive as part of the deal. Neither Barcelona or Ajax are worried about this hold up because the two clubs have already agreed a fee in the region of 70 million euros. The notorious agent is holding out for 20 percent of the transfer fee for himself, a figure of 14 million euros, which is incredibly high when you consider that agents usually receive between five and 10 percent.
